DIVINE DIRECTION: GODS WAY (Lesson text: Isa. 55: 8-11, prov. 14:12, Ps. 25:1-5)


WHAT DO WE MEAN BY GOD’S WAY
Manner, style, fashion, mode how something is done or happen
How a result is obtain or an end is achieved
A line leading to a place or point.

It therefore mean that for every step and everything you do or want to achieve you need God. God way is always different from that of man and his ways sometime look stupid to man.
Consider the story of Joshua and the Isrealites at the wall of Jericho. Joshua 6 Jehoshaphat case  2chro. 20
Look at Elisha and the widow of Zarephath. 1 kings 17.God send a man of God to  a widow to sustain him
The widow was actual the one God want to bless
Most of the time God time is not always the way man expect it. God moves in a  mysterious way.

`HOW DO WE KNOW GOD’S WAY
Knowing God's way is the same as knowing God
1.      By studying his word: his way will always conform to is word
2.      By prayer
3.      By trusting him  Prov. 3:5-7
4.      Be humble

Ask yourself this question 
What is the purpose of your life journey? Life is about God and his ways.

HOW TO FIND GOD’S WAY
1.      Through is promise Isa. 58:11
2.      Through commitment to him. Prov. 3:6a
3.      Through a thrilling consequence. Prov. 3:6b,

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T FOLLOW GODS WAY?
1.      You miss out of God's blessing
2.      You lose out on the victory that God has for you.
3.      Doors of opportunity will be shot.
4.      You will be disappointed, sad and depressed. 
5.      You will be in bondage and confused
6.      There will be no peace for you. 
7.      You will miss your salvation 

But when you follow Gods way
1.      Blessing will come your way
2.      Jehoshaphat follow God he has victory
3.      The widow of Zarephath didn't die but have enough
